You might need to replace the small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) transceiver when a failure occurs on a single
Fibre Channel or 10G Ethernet link.
Before you begin
The following items can indicate that a single Fibre
Channel or 10G Ethernet link failed:- An error that indicates that a single port failed (703, 723).
About this task
Use only supported 10 Gb SFP
transceivers.
Using any other SFP
transceivers can lead to
unexpected system behavior.
Procedure
Attempt each of these actions, in the following order,
until the failure is fixed.
- Ensure that the Fibre Channel or 10G Ethernet cable is
securely connected at each end.
- Replace the Fibre Channel or 10G Ethernet cable.
- Replace the SFP transceiver for
the failing port on the node.
Note: The system is supported by
both longwave SFP
transceivers and shortwave SFP
transceivers. You must replace an SFP transceiver with the same type of SFP transceiver. If the SFP transceiver to replace is a longwave SFP transceiver, for example, you must provide a
suitable replacement. Removing the wrong SFP transceiver might result in loss of data
access.
- Replace the Fibre Channel adapter on the node.
